Track Name: Verkäufer_in: pünktlich sein
freundlich sein
proffessionell sein
dokumentieren
noch fünf Minuten bis zum Feierabend
kopieren
und dabei ich selbst sein
servieren
tippen tippen tippen tippen
motivieren
immer freundlich sein
nicht umdrehen
nicht stehenbleiben
Ich will nie wieder putzen
ich will wieder putzen

Vielleicht wär ich als Verkäufer_in
Vielleicht wär ich als Verkäufer_in glücklicher geworden

was will ich was soll ich und was sollte ich sein?
was ich will und was ich wollen sollte,
wo komm ich her? wo soll ich hin?
Orte wechseln doch mein Platz steht fest…
Fahrradfahren ohne festes Ziel

Ein Solidarischer Blick
Das Herz am richtigen Fleck
Eine Pause will verdient sein
eine Pause von Verwertung bin ich mir wert
ich bin wertvoll
ICH BIN WERTVOLL !!!

*** english translation ***

Cashier

being on time
being friendly
being professional
documenting
five minutes until closing time
copying
and over the course of this being myself
serving
typing typing typing typing
motivated
always being friendly
don't turn around
don't stand still
I never want to clean again
I want to clean again

Maybe I would have been happier as a cashier

What do I want? What am I supposed to do and what am I supposed to be?
what I want and what I am supposed to want
Where am I from? Where am I supposed to go?
Places change but my position is fixed...
Riding my bike without fixed goal

A look of solidarity
The heart in the right place
A break has to be earned
I deserve a break from exploitation
I am precious
I AM PRECIOUS !!!
Track Name: When Change Comes: gut sein wollen
gut. Ich.
Feminismus.
Gut. Ich.
herstory repeats itself
täter_innenschaft aus angst was zu verlieren
herstory repeats itself
für ein bisschen macht lieber nichts riskieren
herstory repeats itself
koloniale geschichte ist koloniale gegenwart

when change comes it cracks everything
it cracks everything open

schwimmen/verschwimmen
was ist wenn alles was ich gelernt habe nicht mehr stimmt
sich gegenseitig auf die schultern klopfen
begegnungen verändern, sich angreifbar machen und aus fehlern lernen

da sind Kraniche auf dem Feld
so viele dass die Erde nicht mehr zu sehen ist
ein zittern, ein Beben
und sie fliegen hoch
und schweben
- achtsam und mutig.

*** english translation ***

wanting to be good
good. I.
feminism.
good. I.
herstory repeats itself
becoming a perpetrator for fear of losing something
herstory repeats itself
better not take a risk for a little bit of power
herstory repeats itself
the colonial past is the colonial present

when change comes it cracks everything
it cracks everything open

swimming/blurring
what if everything I’ve learned isn’t right anymore
patting each other on the back
changing encounters, making oneself vulnerable and learning from mistakes

there are cranes on the fields
so many that you can’t see the ground anymore
a shaking, a trembling
and they lift off
and hover
- mindfully and bravely.
Track Name: Atmen: Eine halbe Geschichte
Rennen ohne zu sehen
was sein wird, was war,
vergessen wurde - vergessen wird

Meine Reise geht nicht von A nach B
sondern vor und zurück
viel tiefer in die Vergangenheit
um zu sehen wer ich heute bin und morgen sein kann

Eins sein, ist nur ein Teil sein
Eins sein, perfekt sein - ohne Brüche ohne Lücken
Veränderung wollen, doch sich fürchten was kommt

Verbunden mit euch stehe ich am Rand meiner Tränen
und schreibe ein stück Geschichte
mit jedem sehen und jedem Schritt
lernen wir zusammen oder jede_r für sich
Heute hier und morgen zurück

Atmen, fühlen und sich trauen
Atmen, fühlen und Vertrauen

Vergangenheit vergessen
Vergangenheit nicht vergessen

Atmen, fühlen und sich trauen
Atmen, fühlen und Vertrauen

Im Übergang zwischen heute und morgen
hör ich auf den Ton in meiner Stimme
hör ich auf die Stimmen der anderen
Im Übergang zwischen heute und morgen
verändert sich meine Stimme
mit euch, für euch und gegen euch - für uns

Atmen, fühlen und sich trauen
Atmen, fühlen und Vertrauen
Atmen

*** english translation ***

Breathing

Half a story
Running without seeing
what will be, what has been,
has been forgotten - is being forgotten

My journey doesn’t take me from A to B
but rather back and forth
much deeper into the past
to see who I am today and who I can become tomorrow

Being one is only being a part
Being one, being perfect - without ruptures without gaps
Wanting change but being afraid of things to come

Connected to you, I am standing on the edge of my tears
and I am writing a part of history
with every glance and every step
we learn together and each one for themself
Today here and tomorrow return

Breathing, feeling and daring
Breathing, feeling and trust

Forgetting the past
Not forgetting the past

Breathing, feeling and daring
Breathing, feeling and trust

In transition between today and tomorrow
I listen to the sound in my voice
I listen to the voices of others
In transition between today and tomorrow
my voice is changing
with you, for you and against you - for us

Breathing, feeling and daring
Breathing, feeling and trust
Breathing
Track Name: Wer A Sagt: Bei mir sein, bei Dir sein
Hier sein und da sein
Bei mir sein und klar sein
Kontrolle haben
und Kontrolle abgeben

Schweben und sprechen
In Kontakt sein
verbunden sein
Feedback, Antwort, Fragen
Verantwortung zurückholen und halten

Stück für Stück Vertrauen einsammeln gehen
Nein sagen - und damit Ja sagen meinen lernen

Wer A sagt muss nicht B sagen
muss nicht C sagen und nicht D sagen

Dich fragen, mich fragen,
Mut haben, Nein sagen

Dich fragen, mich fragen
Ja, Nein, Vielleicht sagen

Wer A sagt muss nicht B sagen !

*** english translation ***

Just because I said yes to this, doesn't mean I have to say yes to that

Being with myself, being with you
Being here, being there
Being with myself and being present
Having control
And giving up control

Floating and talking
Having contact
Being connected
Feedback, response, question
Regaining accountability and holding on to it

step by step, collecting trust
Saying no – in order to be able to mean it when we say yes

Just because I said yes to this, doesn't mean I have to say yes to that
Or that, or that

Asking yourself, asking me,
Being courageous, saying no

Asking yourself, asking me,
Saying yes, no, maybe

Just because I said yes to this, doesn't mean I have to say yes to that!
Track Name: Das ist leicht daher gesagt: das ist leicht daher gesagt,
dass hier alle gleich behandelt werden,
dass ich mich mutgemeint fühlen soll
das ist leicht daher gesagt,
dass dir pronomen nicht so wichtig sind,
dass dich das Thema nicht interessiert,
dass ich der Spaßverderber bin,
dass es transphobie nicht gibt

aus meinem mund kommt kritik und aus meinem herz kommt nach ganz viel wut noch vielmehr verletztlichkeit
ich will und werde hier nicht scheitern, das ist grösser und hat struktur.
ich will und werde hier nicht persönlich scheitern.

in einer welt in der ich gelernt habe meinen körper zu hassen
ist selfcare ein teil der revolution

caring for myself, like i care for my friends
i want to care for myself, like i care for my friends

wir können alle unsere Kräfte bündeln
ich will mit allen meinen Seiten hier sein
was ich will ist an- und miteinander wachsen

*** english translation ***

it’s easy for you to say

it’s easy for you to say,
that everyone is treated equally,
that I should feel included
it’s easy for you to say,
that pronouns are not important for you,
that you are not interested in this issue,
that I’m spoiling the party,
that transphobia doesn’t exist

from my mouth comes criticism and from my heart a lot of anger
and much more vulnerability
I don’t want to and I won’t fail, this is bigger and structural.
I don’t want to and I won’t fail individually.

in a world in which I have learned to hate my body,
self-care is part of the revolution

caring for myself, like i care for my friends
i want to care for myself, like i care for my friends

all of us can join our strengths together
I want to be here with all of my different sides
I want to learn and grow together
Track Name: Friend Crush: We were soulmates in the same struggles
trying to fix things with love
we met in anger and we shared our stories
Jede_r einzigartig
mit Vergangenheit und Herz

We are friends, holding hands,
We are in band love
Don`t be afraid, don´t think straight,
Just fall in friend love
We have a friend crush

there was this wonderful connection
growing and shining
Fighters for politics of love
Wir vergessen alles was wir gelernt haben
seeing each other and learning from each others lifes

We gave each other our pain and fear
We gave each other our eyes and ears

Hinter Mauern sehen Augen ganz genau die schönen Sachen
ganz viel lachen, und in kleinen Momenten glücklich sein
Mich zeigen wie ich wirklich bin

wenn sich verletzlich sein gar nicht so schlimm anfühlt
mir zu wünschen, dass ihr auch morgen noch da seid
es ist gut euch als meine Freunde zu wissen

We are friends, holding hands,
We are in band love
Don`t be afraid, don´t think straight,
Just fall in friend love
We have a friend crush

*** english translation ***

We were soulmates in the same struggles
trying to fix things with love
we met in anger and we shared our stories
Each one unique
with the past and heart

We are friends, holding hands,
We are in band love
Don't be afraid, don´t think straight,
Just fall in friend love
We have a friend crush

there was this wonderful connection
growing and shining
Fighters for politics of love
Let's forget everything we have learned
seeing each other and learning from each others lives

We gave each other our pain and fear
We gave each other our eyes and ears

Eyes see the beautiful things behind walls
laughing a lot and being happy in little moments

showing myself how I truly am
when being vulnerable doesn't feel that bad
I want you to still be here tomorrow
it is good to know that you are my friends

We are friends, holding hands,
We are in band love
Don't be afraid, don´t think straight,
Just fall in friend love
We have a friend crush

Slow to Build
by Dogjaw

supported by 5 fans who also own “friend crush”

Once I heard your demo tape, girls, I fell in love with this raw sound. And now you released your debut: more powerful, full of shamanic rhythms & catching vocal harmonies, every song kicks my ass & immortalizes my soul. With Sharkpact you're my favorite band from Olympia. I'm really upset that I've missed your EU tour with Rvivr, but I'm waiting for your concerts in Russia! Yes, Yes, Yes! LUV U! By the way "Slow To Build" is my cat's (Her name is Dzelka) favorite album, and she is a real punk! Ilya

more raw version of All Dogs in my opinion. I think this album is the one to buy if you had to choose between All Dog albums. Mike D.
